Comedian Jon Stewart is done with all the breathless hyperventilating around former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s visit to retiring Sen. Tom Harkin’s (D-IA) annual steak fry in Iowa.
He first jabbed at Clinton when she delivered a speech at the steak fry where she reminded voters she’s “back!”
“I came third behind [former Sen. John Edwards (D-NC)] you motherf*cker!” Stewart said. “Come on Mrs. Clinton, just tell us if you’re running or not.”
But then Stewart pivoted to the coverage of Clinton visiting Iowa, playing a clip of NBC’s Chuck Todd saying there’s no turning back.
“There is no turning back,” Stewart said. “Abandon hope all ye who enter the Tom Harkin 37th annual steak fry…for your lot is cast. You’re running for President —muahaha muahahaha.”
He closed out by going back to MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough ranting that Clinton should just say if she’s running for President or not. Scarborough, Stewart reminded viewers, also went around on a “glorified book tour” in New Hampshire and didn’t close the door when asked if he was planning to run for President in 2016.
“If you’re going to run, just say you’re going to run and stop playing games!” Stewart said, paraphrasing Scarborough’s rant.

Other than preventing a Republican from getting the White House, does anyone know why Hillary would be a good choice? That seems to be the only rationale I hear.
Does she have any accomplishments during her 30 years in the public spotlight? Checking her Congressional record, she only authored 3 pieces of legislation (2 of which were renaming of Post Offices, and the other was just as meaningless).
What else is there?
Oh, Jonny, “breathless hyperventilating” is what the post modern media does. Lordy!
Painfully, tediously, excruciatingly detailing the towering obviousness over and over in a cliché roundtable of usual suspects and children of usual suspects.
HRC, as secretive and spontaneous as a High Mass, is studied like an Ebola germ while aspects of much more serious issues like ISIS/ISIL are played with an immature silliness and dangerous ignorance of events that could only originate in a self-centered clutch of bloated and pampered courtiers…
That’s about it. She’s a hawk, she isn’t a economic populist, yes she is starting to talk up income inequality, but very carefully so as not to piss of Wall St.
Well it isn’t just the media all those “Ready for Hillary” folks have been hyperventilating since 2009.
Man, I’d love to wake up in a country that could elect Bernie Sanders.
I mean we couldn’t- could we?
